About LAND

Membership

LAND is open to all Harper College faculty, administrators and staff. We especially center the voices and experiences of faculty, staff, and administrators with disabilities—both visible and invisible. Together, we work to build a more accessible and inclusive campus community. The focus for participants is what we each can bring to this campus regardless of disability, whether it be visible or invisible in nature. If you are interested in being a member of LAND, please send an email to LAND@harpercollege.edu and you will be sent a membership form via email.

What is an invisible disability?

An invisible disability may not be clearly apparent to others, but physical or mental disabilities which significantly impact one or more major life activities are certainly very real to the individual.
